HOpe this helps (As posted before):

1. Using phpMyAdmin (or whatever), go to the user_permission table, and find a user_id that has its permission_id set to 1; make a note of that user_id.

2. Go back to the user table, and find that user_id. You will also see the matching username — and that is what you use to login with.

3. For that user, copy/paste the following value:

d0be2dc421be4fcd0172e5afceea3970e2f3d940

into the password field. That is the “sha1” encoding for “apple”.

4. Go back to your login screen, and use that username, and the password “apple”. That should get you into the system with an id that has full admin rights.

5. You can then change the password to something of your choice from the user area of the backend.

Hope that works!!
